dc.descriptionOligonychus ilicis (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), commonly known as the southern red mite, or as the coffee red spider mite in Brazil, is one of the main species of herbivorous mites that causes serious damage to coffee plants (Coffea spp.) and thus negatively affects coffee production. Among the biocontrol agents, predatory mites of the family Phytoseiidae play an important role in many biological control programs worldwide due to their potential as suppressor of mite populations mainly from the family Tetranychidae. One of the phytoseiid mites usually associated with O. ilicis is Euseius concordis (Chant), which often occurs abundantly in the coffee crops of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. This study was conducted to assess the predation potential of E. concordis feeding on the larvae and nymph stages of O. ilicis on coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.). Logistic regression analysis revealed a Holling type II functional response, showing that the number of O. ilicis killed by E. concordis increased gradually as the density of O. ilicis increased. Average daily oviposition also increased with prey densities above 6.3 mites/cm2, indicating that maximum oviposition rate is about 1 egg/day. Results of this study suggest that E. concordis has the potential to reduce O. ilicis populations, and this predatory mite can therefore be considered an important natural enemy of the pest O. ilicis in coffee plantations.
